  The city in the imagination

  Cette journée d’études abordera les innovations existantes au sein de l’espace urbain autour de la notion de « villes créatives ». Elle a pour objet de mettre en lumière l’importance des démarches artistiquesnet culturelles dans la construction et l’appréhension de l’espace public. Elle questionnera les rôles des différents acteurs – institutionnels, publics, privés, associatifs, etc. – et des habitants. Elle interrogera les processus de l’innovation territoriale et des transitions, comme la notion de « tiers-lieux ». Il s’agit de confronter différents regards sur la construction et l’évolution des villes en réfléchissant au potentiel créatif de l’art et dudesign et de leur capacité à produire des méthodologies innovantes au croisement d’autres disciplines, en particulier les sciences humaines et sociales, et en interaction avec des acteurs locaux.

  Tourism, interculturality and immaterial heritage

  9th Sino-European conference in tourism

  Le tourisme a été jusqu’à la fin du XX^e siècle une pratique essentiellement occidentale. De ce fait, la rencontre avec les populations autochtones a été largement abordée à travers le concept d’acculturation. Cette approche a d’autant plus convenu que la diffusion des touristes a été en grande partie orchestrée par le déploiement de l’appareil de production capitaliste et s’est construite dans les contextes du colonialisme et du néocolonialisme. Ainsi, George Cazes a sous-titré le second volume de l’ouvrage tiré de sa thèse consacrée au tourisme dans les pays du Tiers Monde : « Les nouvelles colonies de vacances » (1992). La métaphore traduit l’approche dominante de l’époque. En effet, le tourisme s’inscrit dans un rapport entre le centre et ses périphéries, engendrant l’intégration des pratiques dans un processus de domination et d’expansion symbolique et matérielle des sociétés occidentales.

  LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

  In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

  The Public Sphere and the Politics of Space

  With the gradual rise of socio-economic and political challenges facing the Middle East and North African (MENA) and the Sub-Saharan regions, the “public space” and the “public sphere” have come to the forefront of scholarly debates and research by scholars in various fields of studies. The concept of the “public sphere” was conceived as part of the interplay of first a physical locale that imply constant social relationships in a concrete public domain (public space) and second the constellations of socio-economic factors contributing to the rise of political debates (public sphere). The aim of this conference is to probe social, economic, political problems via the theoretical lenses of the public sphere, the different aspects of spatial configurations, the politics of space, as well as the counter-public or parallel discursive arenas as conceived by Nancy Fraser.

  Inclusive schooling and the socio-territorial constructioon of disability

  L'école inclusive semble être le nouveau horizon des sociétés démocratiques, dans un contexte de promotion des « relations horizontales » et d'accessibilité généralisée : pourtant, il est important de souligner que dire n'est pas faire. Derrière les idéologies et les récits, concrètement, comment se matérialise le discours inclusif dans l'école, la société et le territoire ? Quelle traduction institutionnelle de la dialectique école inclusive, handicap et territoires ? Les réflexions peuvent également intégrer un axe socio-anthropologique, se concentrer sur les référents axiologiques de l'inclusion, les imaginaires, les symboles, participant d'un renouvellement d'un rapport à l'autre dans la société occidentale, ou simple avatar de la médicalisation des comportements sociaux jugés comme problématiques ?
